operation with the cutting edge of the base.

4.. A trimmer, comprising a cabinet having an open top, a receptacle in said cabinet, 51- source of light beneath said open cabinet top, a trimming frame having a transparent plate mounted above said open cabinet top, one edge of said trimming frame being a cutting edge, a gauge positioned below said transparent plate, and movable to and from said cutting edge, and a movable cutter adapted for co-operation with the cutting edge of the frame, whereby the work is framed in light between the gauge and the cutting edge of the frame and the severed edge of the work is delivered into the receptacle of the cabinet.

5. A trimmer, comprising a cabinet having an open top, a source of light beneath said open cabinet top, a trimming frame having a transparent plate mounted above the opening in said cabinet, one edge of the frame being a cutting edge and positioned above said cabinet opening, a movable cutter adapted for co-operation with the cut ting edge of the frame, a gage below said frame and extending across the same beneath the transparent plate, said gauge being movable to and from the cutting edge of the frame, whereby the work is framed in light between the gauge and the cutting edge of the frame.

6. A photographic print trimmer, comprising a trimming frame having a transparent plate, said frame mounted upon a base having an open top, a rule positioned along the rear edge of said frame, one edge of the frame being a cutting edge, a movable cutter adapted for co-ope-ration with the cutting edge of the frame, a gauge positioned below said transparent plate and extending across the same, means for moving the gauge to and from the cutting edge of the frame, and a source of light in said base beneath the open top thereof, whereby when the gage is set in the desired position in respect to the rule the print is framed in light between the gauge and the cutting edge of the frame.

7 A photographic print trimmer, comprising a cutting frame having a transparent plate, one edge of said frame being a shear ing edge and adapted for cooperation with a knife, a movable knife, a gauge positioned below said transparent plate and extending across the same, means to move the said gauge to and from the cutting edge of the frame, and a source of light beneath said transparent plate, whereby the print is framed in light between the gauge and the cutting edge of the frame.

8. A photographic print trimmer, comprising a cabinet having an open top and a receptacle at its base, a trimming frame having a transparent plate mounted above said open cabinet top, one edge of said frame being a cutting edge, a. movable cutter adapted for c0-operation with the cutting edge of the frame, a gauge positioned below said transparent plate and extending across the same, said gauge being movable to and from the cutting edge of the frame, shelves at the right and left side of the cabinet adjacent the upper end thereof, and a source of light beneath the open top of the cabinet, whereby the print is framed in light between the gauge and the cutting edge of the frame and the severed end of the print will drop downwardly through the open cabinet top into the receptacle in the bottom thereof.

9. A photographic print trimmer, comprising a trimming frame having a transparent plate, one edge of said frame being a cutting edge, a movable cutter adapted for co-operation with the cutting edge of the frame, a gauge mounted beneath said transparent plate and extending across the same,

a worm-screw extending longitudinally of the frame and having engagement with one end of the gauge, means for rotating said wornrscrew for moving the gauge to and from the cutting edge of the frame, and a source of light beneath the transparent plate, whereby the print is framed in light between the gauge and the cutting edge of the frame.

10. In a device of the character described, a base, a cutting mechanism mounted on said base, and a portion of said base transparent, whereby the work being operated upon by said cutting mechanism is framed in light.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.
